You know what’s hard? Reading about crimes committed against people, children included, and absolutely NOTHING being done about it. It’s like a continual state of dread with no end in sight.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.
Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says amandascgorman Minneapolis, Minnesota For Renee Nicole Good Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns. If for us she arose, Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power, The howl where we begin, Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been. Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love * better angels of our nature.

Wow. The Trump regime won’t even allow the investigation to happen.

Imagine this in another country. We are over the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

Another post from a Venezuelan friend:
They speak of justice while ruling through fear. They speak of sovereignty while stealing the vote. They speak of dignity while condemning their own people. I learned that those who insist the most on calling themselves "the good ones" are often the ones most afraid to face themselves. The Maduro regime wraps itself in flags, in anti-imperialist rhetoric, in a false epic where any criticism is labeled as betrayal. They claim to defend Venezuela, yet they stole the people's voice when they refused to respect the elections. That act alone strips away any moral authority. But do not be mistaken. The fact that a tyrant is real does not automatically turn an external aggressor into a savior. The United States does not act out of love for democracy. It acts out of interest. It always has. The language changes, the enemy changes, but the method remains the same: pressure, punishment, displays of power. And as always, the blow is not absorbed by those in power, but by ordinary people. The Venezuelan people are trapped between two narratives that do not represent them. One that oppresses them from within, and another that exploits them from outside. One that claims legitimacy without real elections. Another that claims justice without taking responsibility for the human consequences of its actions. I do not defend Maduro. I point at him. But I also refuse to accept that a global power can appoint itself as a moral judge while its history is written in interventions, sanctions, and broken countries. Pain does not need propaganda. Hunger does not understand geopolitics. Dignity is not imposed with missiles, nor with dictatorships. While some sell themselves as the good ones to justify repression, and others sell themselves as the good ones to justify aggression, the result is always the same: more suffering, more rage, more generations learning that force replaces justice. And once again, pain is inherited.

In this climate it is super important to have some kind of outlet/hobby that brings you. And if you don’t know what that is, go back to your childhood and find your favorite “thing” and make space for joy. #Legos #Coloring #Cooking #Gardening #ModelCars #Skateboarding #Painting #Rollerblades #…

The White House has not commented on a report released Friday by a panel of food security experts that confirmed famine in Gaza. Analysts say that without U.S. pressure, Israel is unlikely to change course.

unpopular opinion but humans were never designed by nature to be this busy and that’s why anxiety and depression are skyrocketing.

Sometimes just getting out of bed is a win. God is most certainly faithful and true and amazing, but faith doesn’t automatically erase depression/anxiety. For He never promised hard things would never happen, but did promise to be there when they do.

We live in a rogue and dangerous country.

Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.

Here is yet another reminder that the Constitution is not optional…

Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike.
